I am sick--I just ordered two joysticks

I love my X52, it has a faily long throw but once you get used to it it works great.
  It's important to have a light hand  because it will translate any movement into the game easilly. If you jerk when you pull the trigger and things of that sort
 you will know.

I have both

I use the X45

AH Saitek Profiles

do get a set of pedals

I bought the X-52 and feel it is on par with anything else I have tried to date. No deadzone problems, no weak springs, etc...

  And where did you purchase this one of a kind, no limp wrist spring, 52 at?

I'm thinking about getting the ch pro throttle, and Ill have full Ch pro hotas. I'll probably take a month or so off first, as I've becoming increasingly agravated in the game. Time for a break.

As one who has had both be aware there are significant differences.

The CH Pro Throttle has a straight "slider" type movement as apposed to the arched movement of the X45. Also no tension adjustment or roteries on the CH. Otherwise it is not a bad throttle and I have gotten used it. I don't miss the roteries as much now in AH as I did when I played CFS. I used to use them for mixture and RPM. All in all I still liked the X45 throttle better and would stil use it if it could be used stand alone.

if you have the desk space, keep the x45 set up and plugged in, put the stick behind the side of the moniter and use the x45 throttle. thats what i do.
